Earl Grey Martini

• good leaf tea Earl Grey↗1 tbsp tbsp
• bottle of good-quality gin700ml ml
• ice

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Place the Earl Grey tea in a large jar. Pour in the gin and stir with a long spoon for about 45 seconds.

2. 2

   Strain the gin through a tea sieve into a funnel back into the bottle. You will see fine tea leaf particles remaining in the gin. Rinse the jar, then using a coffee filter or cheesecloth in the funnel, strain the gin a second time to remove all particles. This keeps the gin stable and the flavor unchanged – it will stay good for months until the last sip is drunk.

3. 3

   For serving, shake or stir over ice – I like how the flavor changes as it dilutes.
